    I look at both these teams and see Michigan beating either one by a good margin. Not sure the voters will see it that way though. After all, out of sight out of mind. The Wolverines haven't played in weeks now.

    Urban Meyer: "No! There's no heartbeat!! Get the doctor! Please don't die!!" Arkansas: "Clear!" ****SHOCK!!**** Arkansas: "Up to 400 joules! Clear!!!" ****SHOCK!!**** ~~dramatic pause~~ "We've got a pulse!!"

    Now, be careful tonite Cali. Moderation 8)

    I do too. But if Leak keeps tossing picks like that, Michigan's going to get the nod.

    Rutgers? Louisville? Rutgers? Louisville? Rutgers is gonna lose. Whites hurt. You're always good for a laugh, Cuse. That's why I like you 8)

    OH MY GOD, USC IS GOING DOWN!!!!! :o :shock:
  8. Soul
    Hmmmm.......if USC couldn't come back, would a convincing win leap-frog Florida over Michigan into the title game?

    Nobody seems worried about this game. I think it's going to be tougher than it looks.

    Yeah, I just don't like those pseudo-late hit calls. "Late hit out of bounds" BS. UCLA still can't close the deal though. Left the door open for USC to win it.
  11. Soul
    First down, UCLA at the 20! Wow, is USC shell-shocked right now?

    They're shy. They fly below the radar; it's good for profits.

    Wallace was fighting a stiff neck, bruised wrist, and a sprained right index finger last night. He was day to day going into the game. I'm fighting a stubbed toe too but I'm managing.

    True, that said though, I'll take Ted Lilly for a #4, or maybe a #3 over the likes of Gooz, Marmol, or Mateo any day of the week. He might be overpaid, but he is still an improvement. It's not our money, so if the Trib wants to spend it then let 'em. Lord knows we aren't going to improve from that steaming pile of crap known as the Cubs farm system.
  15. Soul
    Yeah, I pointed out earlier that he seems to give up a ton of dingers (28 last year in 181 innings). Can we do a wind-directional platoon at SP? :lol:
  16. Soul
    I guess any win on the road is good, but only 4 rebounds for Wallace against that team is disheartening. There's obviously something wrong with Wallace and the Bulls, and he doesn't look anywhere near the player he was in Detroit. We almost blew that game, against a team that right now is probably worse than the Knicks with all their injuries. Again----nothing but a couple passes and then a long-range jumper down the stretch. It's not going to work in the long term. It will be good to see an extended home stand. Maybe they can find themselves a little bit in terms of getting Ben Wallace going more, and finding out if Deng can make up some of that lack of inside scoring (as it looks like Skiles is going to try and push that role for Luol a little bit).

    What the heck is so attractive about a Bears/Bucs game? Everyone knows that the Bucs haven't won a game in freezing weather in countless years. I doubt that's going to change in a few weeks. There has to be some other game that they can go to. Oh yeah, the Packers-49ers game :wink: Except for the fact that in 2002 they beat the Bucs in frozen Champaign and the Eagles in freezing Philly in the NFC championship game en route to the Super Bowl Does that actually count? They were playing a team that had Henry Burris as the quarterback. Henry Burris. Seriously though, that was a pretty special team that year and I did forget about that game against the Eagles. There's no way that this year's Bucs team will go into Soldier Field and win. I'd put a good chunk of money on it. Tampa might just cancel the trip. I don't think they have winter jackets, or a place in Tampa to buy them :wink:

    I'd rather have Schmidt, but I'd be fine with getting both. Obviously its mroe realistic that we will have Lilly and maybe one other guy. Z Hill Lilly Miller Prior etc. Meh. Yes, and I like your slotting him #3 instead of the Trib who says #2. Mark me down as someone who believes Rich Hill has a shot at being a decent #2. Certainly much more potential than Lilly, who is a known quantity, a middle-of-the-rotation guy.

    Because Jones is the new Walker. Nobody knows why he must go. But dammit to hell, he's got to GO!!
  20. Soul
    Yeah. I still have a favorable view of Sammy wooing Moises here. Alou was big in '03 and '04.
  21. Soul
    This is interesting because Marky Mark is a West Coast guy, so he might be able to offer some insight to Schmidt, who appears to have a hangup over leaving the West Coast. Probably not going to help much, but hey if Prior is trying then I think that's great.

    I honestly think it's realistic for Woody to become the closer this year and thrive. Call me crazy, but I just think his arm will hold up much better when he stays in that 10-30 pitch count range, even if it means doing it more often. I really feel it was the 120 pitch counts that got him tired and started to wreak havoc on his arm. This is totally a hunch, nothing more. I just see Woody being the closer, and a damn fine one.
  23. Soul
    Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. Grab the domain, post a terrible site with a 5-minute junk layout, then hope the Cubs tank so you can cash in. Heck, every year people just wait for the coach hirings to grab the "fireXX.com" URLs.

    Tell the Soldier Field groundskeepers: NO SNOW REMOVAL UNTIL MONDAY!!! Woot! :P
  25. Soul
    I think he babies himself too much, and flinches at the first twinge he feels anywhere along his right arm. And this can indeed cause real problems down the road. It's a lot like a football player trying to play at less than full speed. You're trying to avoid injury, and in so doing.......you get injured.
